Sources tell YWN that NY Assemblyman Sheldon Silver has been released from prison and is on his way home. He was released five years earlier than his six year sentence. His original release date was March 10, 2026. He began his sentence on August 26, 2020. He will serve the remainder of his term in home confinement. He was released on the “CARES Act” bill, which much credit can be given to Rabbi Moshe Margaretten of the Tzedek Association. When Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, it included a mandate to decrease federal incarceration to stop the spread of COVID-19.
